Abstract: A low-cost connector comprises a pair of first socket side shields covering two outer surfaces of a socket along a direction a terminal extends. The first socket side shield members are detachable from the socket. A pair of second socket side shield members cover two other outer surfaces of the socket in the back-and-forth direction. Thus, the outer surfaces of the socket can be covered by the second socket side shield members and the first socket side shield members according to dimensions of the terminal in the direction the terminal extends. Accordingly, if the dimensions of socket in the direction the terminal extends differ according to a number of terminals, it is easier and cheaper to manufacture shield members than to cover the socket outer surfaces by one shield member.
